The importance of proper nutrition for the health of your pets is REMARKABLE!
Species: Dog
Breed: Miniature Schnauzer
Gender: Male
Age: 8 months
Name: Nick
Owners have brought Nick to our clinic with symptoms of intense vomiting and diarrhea. Considering that this is a young animal we immediately started rehydration by intravenous infusion, and at the same time we were working on diagnostics (X-ray of the abdomen: native and contrasting). As the x-rays showed the digestive system is without the presence of a foreign body, the owners “confessed” that they were “but only a little,” giving it pumpkin seeds as a food supplement! Since this is a food that consists of large amounts of oil, diarrhea and vomiting are logical consequence. After therapy is taken Nick was completely healthy.
